“Interior design should be exciting, and the end result should not feel devoid of personality”

Lloyd O. M. Hodgkinson

“We live in a world saturated by images; there are so many choices, and it’s the abundance of choices that makes confidently building a room’s personality challenging for people, this is where I come into the picture.”

I have always enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful interiors. Rooms full of objects that evoke memory, combined with colours and patterns that inspire. My appreciation for these immensely personal emotions has given me an understanding of their importance in a home.

My career began in 2007 when I worked for over a decade at one of Australia’s most esteemed design firms – John Croft Design. It was under the brilliant tutelage of John Croft that I developed and refined my design skills and obsession for detail. I established Oliver Mark Interiors in 2017 and since then it has steadily grown into one of Brisbane’s highly respected interior design companies.

My personal interests and hobbies are intertwined with my passion for living well. In my spare time I am an ardent reader and am particularly interested in studying the work of the grand design practitioners of the 20th century. Gardening, antiques and entertaining friends and family are my other great loves.

A signature OMI interior is defined by clean colours, pattern, beautiful furniture, artwork and accessories. It is layered, comfortable and reflective of my clients’ lives. No two OMI projects are the same. The OMI design pendulum swings from classical to contemporary. My projects are guided by my client’s lifestyle, desires and dreams. The common thread running through all OMI projects is that they are out of the ordinary and shy away from trends.

There is nothing I love more than being captured by a room that has its own presence. It is my goal to create homes that respect traditional design concepts yet reflect individualism. I truly believe the selection of high-quality fabrics and furniture will stand the test of time.

I am passionate about executing beautiful residential interiors that are full of interest, personality and comfort. My approach with my clients is personal, ego-free and most importantly – memorable.
